“It’s been a second since I was las there but this is a Class A thrift store! Our experience: nothing short of spectacular! Very clean and well organized with an awesomely clean restroom and the staff is super, no Uber Nice and most helpful. And it’s the perfect size and the Sandbar restaurant directly across the street! Winner winner!”

“Loved it, me and my group had a great time. Nice variety in the gift shop, and the trail is pretty long and has lots of statues. We went when there was a ton of snow on the ground so everything was very pretty. My only gripe is the fact that it’s so commercialized, the gift shop is mandatory when you go in and out. I understand it’s a no-profit thing, but it’s a little funny that right after you witness the ascension you’re bombarded with hallmark statuettes that cost $500. But still a fun experience! Will be going again in the summer.”

“This a great place. Made me feel very welcomed. I've never been to a place where everyone was so proud of. Food was great. Drinks are the best around, great bartender.”

“HEARTS IN MOTION Resale Shoppe of Schererville, IN is conveniently located on Rt 41 South of Rt 30 (West). It was my first visit & stopped to look at formalwear for an impromptu event. The selection was ample and prices were 50% off that day. Unfortunately, I didn’t find what I was looking for but the store clerks were very helpful. The racks were stocked and organized making it easier to navigate the donations. The front of the store housed newer & vintage kitchen dishes, household appliances, linens, furniture and decor items. I thought the goblets and fancy glassware for champagnes were beautiful & some displayed up by the checkout counter. I didn’t leave with much on my trip but do plan on a return visit soon. HEARTS IN MOTION is affiliated with a charity & this makes it most valuable in my eyes. I recommend stopping the next time you are in the area. I am not affiliated with HEARTS IN MOTION Resale Shoppe.”

“The safety village is such a cool, fun, safe , interactive place for kids to learn. My business was invited to participate by Geminus Corp. and all the employees were welcoming on site! Great job! Hope to be back soon.”

“We've been taking our kids (4 yr old and 8 month old) here for over 6 months and have nothing but great things to say! The staff is easy to talk to and good with communicating with us. They make everything SO special for the kids for every small thing ❤ I am so happy we connected with Children's First and highly recommend!”

“Generally speaking we have a great experience.Today was an exception but it needs attention. I lost my car keys and went to the front desk for help.The woman at the desk had a set of keys but they weren't mine. I was clearly distressed and continued to describe what my keys looked like, her body language and tone changed to annoyance and contempt.She didn't have my keys and said I should go look elsewhere. I found her mannerism to be incredibly rude. Our daughter felt her service was average or below.In customer service, an attitude of sincere concern goes a long way. Offering possible solutions (e.g., have you checked the kiosk upstairs, let me note down what they look like in case someone turns them in, etc.) is even better.As we left she asked my husband and daughter if we found our keys. I felt it was insincere. When I needed help she did the bare minimum. Her tone and body language (turning toward the computer ?️ and away from me) clearly showed it wasn't her problem at the time.Car keys are important so is quality customer service.An employee at the upstairs customer service kiosk had my keys. She was polite and friendly.Again, we like the Y but this incident upset me."The key is when a customer walks away, thinking, 'Wow, I love doing business with them, and I want to tell others about the experience.'"~ Shep Hyken ?”
